Good biblical defense of the Trinity

[Curious Christian]

Bismillah:


Did Jesus pbuh say " God and I are the same" or did he say "I and my father are one" ? Because there is huge difference between both statements.


I remember he did say I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE. But that does not mean that they are ONE in essence or nature. I guess I’ve explained this before.


Salam


Wael.

The words "I and MY FATHER ARE ONE" means that they are same. That is what it meant. That is what the Jews knew he meant by it. Why else did they want to kill him??


Also, Jesus, as I've pointed out before, called himself, "I AM" just as God did in the Exodus.
